Show Some Emotion - How to Depict Emotions in Children's Books by Suzy Davies

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons in life is the one about feelings. How do we communicate how we feel, and how do we “read” other people’s emotions, so that we understand them? I believe that empathy can be learned, and in this article, I want to explore the ways in which we can show young readers how our characters feel, and at the same time analyze why it is important that we teach child Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Suzy Davies  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Books are a portable kind of time travel. We go back as well as forward when we read them. When we come back into the now, after being immersed in worlds previously unknown to us, we find ourselves, transformed. Touched by their magic, nothing we ever perceived beforehand remains quite the same.”
Suzy Davies

“Libraries are like caves. They are places of transformation. There are secrets hidden within those walls.”
Suzy Davies

“I want to sling a stone, a small rock into a pool, see it ripple. I want to shake a tree, create a small storm..”
Suzy Davies, Johari's Window

“Look at the moon," sighed Housie..."Is it true, Ratty, what they say?"
"Not really, I don't think it's really made of cheese," breathed Ratty. The river seemed to sigh with the motion of the oar, in and out of the water.
"Why not?" asked Housie Mousie.
"Someone would have eaten it long ago!" Ratty replied.”
Suzy Davies

“The light of the Moon reminds us that when we share the light of others, we shine in our own unique way”
Suzy Davies

“There is wisdom to be found in fairytales, a deeper meaning in the magic of their worlds”
Suzy Davies

“Writers are method actors. They become their character. They feel what he or she feels. They switch between viewpoints, always with a clear sense of their own selves as writers, and yet somehow losing themselves in their Art”
Suzy Davies

“The lady replied in a voice holding all the magic of the winter solstice. Her voice drew him in, chiming softly in the wind.”
Suzy Davies, The Snow Queen
